8. Measure the flywheel (1) for runout using the J 7872 and slowly turning the flywheel (1) using a flywheel wrench. If the flywheel runout exceeds
0.1 mm (0.004 inch), the flywheel (1) must be resurfaced or replaced.
9. Remove six flywheel bolts and the flywheel (1) from the crankshaft noting the flywheel position on the crankshaft.
IMPORTANT: The flywheel should be indexed (reference marked) before removal to ensure correct installation. If the flywheel is installed in a
position other than the one from which it was removed, poor engine balance may result.
10. Clean the flywheel and pressure plate-to-clutch disc mating surfaces of all oil, grease and metallic particles.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use alcohol-based solvents or other cleaning agents on the clutch disc. Using solvents on the clutch disc may cause
slipping and premature clutch wear.
11. Clean the clutch disc using a clean, dry cloth.
12. Inspect the flywheel and pressure plate for:
^
Cracks
^
Heat checking
^
Grooves and excessive wear
^
Sent or broken pressure plate fingers
^
Weak or damaged diaphragm spring
If any of the above conditions exist, do not attempt to disassemble or repair the pressure plate assembly. If the flywheel or pressure plate
appears excessively worn, replace the flywheel and/or pressure plate as necessary.
13. Inspect the pilot bearing for smooth rotation. If the bearing does not spin freely, replace the pilot bearing.
14. Inspect the clutch disc for:
^
Cracks
^
Excessive wear
^
Damaged or weak torsional springs
15. Measure the clutch disc wear using the J 26900-5 and measuring the depth of each rivet head (2) depression. Standard rivet head (2) depth should
measure 1.6 mm (0.06 inch). If the clutch rivet (2) depth is less than 0.5 mm (0.02 inch), replace the clutch disc (1).
